Q. You roll a 66-sided die two times.\newlineWhat is the probability of rolling an odd number and then rolling a 55?\newlineSimplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.\newline_____
  1. Calculate Odd Probability: Determine the probability of rolling an odd number on a 66-sided die. There are 33 odd numbers on a 66-sided die (11, 33, and 55). The probability of rolling an odd number is the number of odd outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Calculation: P(odd)=36=12P(\text{odd}) = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
  2. Calculate 55 Probability: Determine the probability of rolling a 55 on a 66-sided die.\newlineThere is only one outcome that is a 55 on a 66-sided die.\newlineThe probability of rolling a 55 is the number of outcomes that are a 55 divided by the total number of outcomes.\newlineCalculation: P(5)=16P(5) = \frac{1}{6}
  3. Calculate Joint Probability: Since the two dice rolls are independent events, the probability of both events occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.\newlineCalculation: P(odd then 5)=P(odd)×P(5)=12×16=112P(\text{odd then } 5) = P(\text{odd}) \times P(5) = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{12}
